Oil burner

[pkriek]

Hi

great stuff. I am fairly new with Mysensors, but I already build a couple of sensors, temp+hum and temp+hum+mot. All as described on this great site. I am using a raspberry pi domoticz controller,

But now I wanted to measure how many times our oil burner turns on per day. The oil burner is for the central heating in house. The burner has a big blinking light when it turns on, so I was thing to use the Pulse light sketch, but that outputs kWh to domoticz.

Is there anybody that already did this or can put me on the right track?

thanks

Hi, I am using a node that count how many times I start my car.
I am using the S_Rain type since that data is resets every midnight.
But I am facing problems with Domotics. If no data is sent to Domoticz after 3 hours it will be showing next value in the past
See my question on Domoticz forum here https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=11088
my sketch is here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3355/count-car-starts/2

@pkriek
If you can stick a light sensitive resistor onto that light you could measure when the light goes on and then do something (like send a message to domoticz).
I'm also looking for a way to count the number of times a door opens (similar problem), no solution on Domoticz yet, still looking.
